Apparently this is happening - Karate Kid sequel series 'Cobra Kai'
- Thread starter alaskanseminole
- Start date
If I remember correctly, wasn't there a thread a while back pointing out that Daniel was the real bully between him and Johnny? funny stuff
Yes. Hoping Johnny whoops Daniel's whiny butt in this sequel. LOL
One of the many takeaways from How I Met You Mother was Barney's love for Zabka, the true victim. Zero expectations for this movie tho.
When Zabka showed up and turned out to be the clown that had been with them the whole time.. that was really a great scene.
When I was in high school I wrote a script treatment for Karate Kid III where Daniel returns to Cali from Okinawa to find out his girl Ali (Elisabeth Shue)has been kidnapped. He and Johnny team up to rescue her.
I'd fight a whole lotta karate kids for Shue. Def one of my childhood crushes.
Great video but flawed; Johnny pushed Daniel first while on the beach; he's the culprit, not Daniel. Also, this could have all been prevented if Johnny wasn't being a hot head and taking other people's property that night. Daniel was simply being a gentleman by trying to help the young lady.
With that said, Daniel shouldn't have antagonized him and crew throughout the remainder of the movie. He had the chick, why keep pushing it!?!?
The narrator acknowledges Johnny was a flawed hero and was not perfect and should not have taken the radio and left Ally alone at her request.
Solid twist would be Ali ending up with Dutch. I mean, come on, that kid was perfect 80's. That hair, cocky attitude. Plus that kick he nails Daniel with in the tournament is just awesome.
Steve Sanders, is that you?!?
"Put him in a body bag, Johnny!" Karate was serious ish back in the 80s!
A better script would have been a cross between Rocky and KK. Where Mike Tyson picks Daniel as the unknown opponent to fight. A bunch of montages where Miyagi teaches Daniel-san, and then the big fight. And Daniel tries the Crane move. But while Daniel is standing on one leg, Tyson hits Daniel so hard, his brain shoots out his butthole. The end.
Pat Morita is swirling in his ash urn. But if this is real, I am in.
Looked to me like Johnny turned into Mr. Miyagi and Daniel got mad and jealous.
Hopefully the series addresses the issue that Danny was the giant douche and actual villain of the story not Johnny.
I don't see how people miss that Miyagi was the real villain. He ran off from his home as a coward and is trying to hide anonymously until an opportunity to strike out at the helpless presents itself. He decides to brutally injure a bunch of kids under the guise of protecting the bully Daniel. To show off, Miyagi interrupts the sensei in his own Dojo while he is trying to teach young men about discipline and perseverance. When the sensei calls him out, Miyagi refuses to a fight there, but throws Daniel to the wolves by promising he will be in a tournament that is way over his head. He then uses Daniel as slave labor to paint his fences, sand his floors and wax his cars.
At the tournament, Miyagi shows that he is also a liar and a thief, snagging a black belt to get Daniel into the tournament he isn't qualified for. After Daniel gets seriously injured because he was in way over his head at Miyagi's bidding, instead of being a responsible guardian and taking him to the hospital, Miyagi sends Daniel to fight while badly injured.
After the tournament, Miyagi tricks the Cobra Kai sensai into punching out the windows of the cars of two other people's cars and bloodying his knuckles. Then Miyagi psychologically tortures and humiliates the sensei by pretending he is going to kill him and then just honking his nose in public.
That Miyagi was one messed up dude.

Don’t forget he’s clearly in league with oni or demons to give him the black magic necessary to heal Daniel-san’s leg.
Interesting and reinforces my belief that Hollywood for the most part is vacant of original ideas. It seems as if they are more than content to make stupid remake after stupid remake, or the same themed movie with a different title. You would think with all the amazing, tragic, exceptional things that happen on our planet that they could find more new ideas.
Maybe so I just like watching good films that have an impact. That impact can be good, bad or otherwise. With the price of going to a movie now and the access the Internet gives you; getting me to go to a theater takes more than slapping together some remake and using today's technology.
Maybe true, but they have my attention with this. Hoping the show is a good as the trailer.
